This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and consultancy related to climate transition strategies. The tender period is set to conclude on 1 April 2022, with a contract period commencing on 6 April 2022 and lasting until 15 June 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing for wide participation from interested parties in the United Kingdom, and the total contract value is £59,000. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in research and consultancy services, particularly those that specialise in environmental sustainability, ecological economics, and climate action strategies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well positioned to compete, especially if they possess expertise in integrating nature-based goals into transition plans. The insights generated from this project will be invaluable for firms looking to enhance their offering in the rapidly evolving field of climate-considered business practices. ## Notice Project objectives This paper seeks to do the following: Part 1 - Make the case for nature in climate transition plans * Build out the economic and financial narrative on why nature goals should be included in transition plans. Demonstrate that to achieve Net Zero Goals, we need to reverse nature loss, and that incorporating nature goals will help companies and financial institutions to achieve their net zero goals. * Produce a small number of illustrative case studies (1-3) comparing how the transition might look if nature goals are or are not included, in order to demonstrate why their inclusion will generate better economic, financial and environmental outcomes, and their exclusion would result in unintended impacts on nature, and undermine commitments on nature. This should start with the food and agricultural sectors. Part 2 - Examine how this might be done: develop recommendations as to how nature goals might best be incorporated into transition plans. This might include the following: * Explore and compare the likely international frameworks (e.g., those of the ISSB and TCFD) and metrics that may be used as the foundation of transition plans, to comment on the extent to which they cover nature-positive objectives. * Identify how companies are incorporating nature alongside net zero goals into their business decision-making frameworks already, to inform thinking about how these approaches might be incorporated into transition plan frameworks. This might include cases from the broader sustainability transition, including for example deforestation and conversion free supply chains, circular economy approaches. * Draw on latest thinking such as the F4B Transition Plan Framework for Financial Institutions. * Identify any barriers to integrating this into transition plans and formulate recommendations to the regulator, working closely with WWF. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a0c64a0-a087-4d1b-9657-5d3da15b3f9c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Apr 2022 - 15 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £59,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WWF-UK (WORLD WIDE FUND FOR NATURE) TRADING LIMITED | | Locality | WOKING | | Post town | Guildford | | Postcode | GU21 4LL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Woking | | Electoral ward | Horsell | | Westminster constituency | Woking | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 4 Mar 2022 at 14:09 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a0c64a0-a087-4d1b-9657-5d3da15b3f9c - 4 Mar 2022 at 11:26 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a0c64a0-a087-4d1b-9657-5d3da15b3f9c ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0a0c64a0-a087-4d1b-9657-5d3da15b3f9c 4th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7d462306-f5e2-489d-a4c1-fd674e05db29 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bbd03b15-31b6-486f-943c-a6a2ccafaabf - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2bfb7278-c376-43d7-af58-6c130083cfd2 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
